Juliet, Naked

Out Now On-Demand

Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke and Chris O’Dowd star in this rom-com based on Nick Hornby’s novel about an indie rock obsession that leads to romance.

"Annie (Byrne) has long tolerated her partner Duncan’s (O’Dowd) obsession with the obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Hawke), but she’s reaching the end of her tether. Crowe had a ’90s following, but he disappeared decades ago after a mid-show breakdown, never to be heard from again by his fans. Duncan has never let the light die out, running a fan forum for similar obsessives around the world. When a previously unknown demo version of a Crowe album emerges after 25 years, the events that follow change Annie and Duncan’s lives in the most unexpected ways." (Sydney Film Festival)

Juliet, Naked never truly achieves comic lift-off. Instead, it bumps around from one mild laugh, awkward encounter and bewildering decision to another without ever building up an exhilarating head of steam.
